Unless you’re a brand new business that just created a Facebook Page, I’m assuming you’re not starting from zero likes. One of the first things you should do is leverage the people who already like your page.

Otherwise, you have to do your best to produce quality content that is unique and intriguing to your audience.
Have you just developed new groundbreaking research results? Can you produce a video that will easily go viral? These kinds of things can make your content stand out.
Anything shocking, controversial, or newsworthy can spark discussion and lead others to share your posts.
Once your content is shared, those posts will be seen by the friends of those who shared them.
But now there is an increased likelihood that more people will like your page, allowing them to see this type of content on a regular basis.
